Aunt Ginnie's Oatmeal Cake image

Aunt Virginia's table was always a gathering place for the neighborhood so she often bought staples in bulk, something I didn't think about when she asked me to make a double batch of oatmeal cake. The huge Tupperware container that I took to be sugar was actually salt!
